problem running setup.php

I am trying to use Zenphoto, but I am stuck right at the start. When I direct firefox to www.mysite.nl/zenphoto/zp_core/setup.php I get a firefox save as dialog (it does not run de php script, but asks me whether i want to save the file or open it with some program)

    Are you sure your server matches the requirements?
  • the link should be to www.mysite.nl/zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php Note the hyphen rather than an underline. Also if you are installing the 1.1.5 build, just visiting www.mysite.nl/zenphoto will take you to the setup program.

    If these don't work, you should check to see if PHP is installed and enabled on your server.
  • I would think so yes, these are the tech specs:

    • Platform: Linux 2.6, Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.0, PHP 5.2 (PHP 4 mogelijk), Perl 5.8.
    • FTP toegang tot je website.
    • Ongelimiteerd aantal subdomeinnamen per domeinnaam.
    • 10 MySQL databases per domeinnaam.
    • phpMyAdmin voor het beheren van je databases.
    • IMAP en POP3 toegang tot je e-mail.
    • Forwarding (doorsturen) en aliasing van elk e-mail adres mogelijk.
    • Vakantie- of out-of-office bericht instellen.
  • sbillard: sorry the underscore was a typo.
    the actual addres of the website i am trying to build is http://www.decotex.nl/zenphoto/zp-core/setup.php

    perhaps I need to enable something on the server?
  • That would be my guess. If Firefox is offereing to download the php file, then the server did not run it as a script.
  • yes it seems to be somthing like that i replaced my index.html with:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>testing</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?php
    echo "Hello, I am a PHP script";
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>

    and it will just show me this as text.
    As you can see here: http://www.decotex.nl/

    Ah well, I'll put in a question at the webspace provider...
